Plant Healthy certified
Written by the company
- Hopes Grove Nurseries is Plant Healthy certified
- We are one of just a handful of online nurseries to have attained Plant Healthy certification. In a nutshell, it’s a way of proving that we will always do the right thing in preventing the spread of harmful plant pests and diseases. The Plant Healthy Management Standard is a voluntary initiative that sets out requirements for implementing effective plant biosecurity systems that can be adopted by horticultural businesses. Hopes Grove Nurseries chose to be part of the scheme earlier this year, after a lot of preparation we received our independent audit in October 2025 and passed with flying colours!

Poor delivery experience costing £7.50
Poor delivery kept me in waiting for two failed deliveries. Cost me &7.50 and they would not refund for this poor service.

This was the first time I’d use the company. I am a gardener in Torquay established for 30 years and was very happy with the products and the way the product was supplied and delivered. I would definitely use you 👍👍👍

Great plants and great service
I recently ordered 20x Thuja Plicata Atrovirens hedging plants from Hopes Grove Nurseries and I’m really pleased with both the quality of the plants and the customer service provided.
Unfortunately, the delivery arrived a day late due to the courier’s wagon breaking down. The courier did contact me and initially tried to reschedule the delivery for an additional two days later. However, I explained that I wasn’t comfortable accepting that arrangement as there was no way of knowing how the plants would be stored or looked after during that time, and no guarantee they wouldn’t perish.
I contacted Hopes Grove Nurseries about the issue and they jumped on it straight away. Within a couple of hours, they had sorted everything and I received an updated ETA for early the following morning.
When the plants arrived, they were in really healthy condition and clearly very good quality. I’m extremely happy with both the products and the dedicated customer service Hopes Grove Nurseries provided throughout the issue.
I would highly recommend Hopes Grove Nurseries if you’re looking for excellent service and great quality plants.

Great to hold back plants until I was ready for them (wish I'd known that earlier, but was basing my assumption on other nurseries)
Rarer plants available
Seemed to have added additional plants

The Yew shrubs arrived in very good condition and slightly larger than advertised which was great. I did have to re-pot a few that weren't going in the ground immediately. I'll definitely return for more products.

Excellent all round.
I just wish I'd found Hopes Grove Nurseries sooner! Excellent quality plants and hedging, way better than any other online plant and hedging supplier. Healthy specimens with plenty of roots, buds and even some flowering before even put in the ground. Very happy with my purchase. If anything doesn't survive then it's completely my fault as cannot fault the plants or Hope Grove. Highly recommend Hopes Grove and will most definitely use again. Thank you for such a pleasant and faultless experience.

Dead plants & poor delivery…
Whilst I appreciate that I bought bare root hedging at the very end of the bare root season I was expecting the plants to actually be alive on arrival. Sadly, I appear T have bought very expensive brown material for my compost bins, not least due to the minimum order value you set . Not happy!
To add insult to injury, DX did not even attempt delivery on the scheduled day, when I was at home the whole time, delivery was made 2 days later.

Plants arrived in good condition. While they took some time to arrive delivery was within stated time frame and communication was clear.

Received two weeks ago
Received two weeks ago, plants are extremely dried, most leaves were broken when they arrived. Followed all instructions, socked them in water then planted them immediately with the root food, but some are dead after a day and some are still very weak.

Very efficient and friendly staff
Very efficient and friendly staff. I had to contact customer service and spoke with a very helpful lady who sorted out my concern and processed a partial refund whilst I was still on the call. Could not have been more helpful!

Positive experience
The privet hedging plants were of extremely good quality. Their delivery partner let the down with one of my three boxes but Natasha in Hopes' office sorted it quickly. I highly recommend the company.
